I like the last one too - it's good having the "sugar free" bit appear to be part of the drink, IYSWIM? Better than it appearing above or below the image, especially as in printing if the logo was cropped, those would be the first bits to go (by mistake, of course...).
honestly - i'll do anything you need doing! it's a subject close to my heart (which i know is true for all of us!) so i'll do anything i can to help! i don't have any useful contacts unfortunately, but i'm happy to send emails, help promote the cause, etc...?
Actually, something I'm after, which I don't know if it's up your street, was anyone who'd be willing to find some statistics about the number of people with diabetes in the UK, and projections for how many there will be in 5 or 10 years. I think NICE is probably the best place to look for these? That site confuses the heck out of me though!
Also if anyone knows a good online survey/poll site, that would be great too 🙂
Not yet. I'm thinking to hold off contacting them until we've got some figures and a press release. That's what I'm after the NICE details and a poll site for! lol
You are a star! Thanks for keeping me talking on FB last night, just to go OT for a moment 🙂
a press release! crikey! how will we go about that? (can you tell i'm totally new to this?!)
i've just pm'd you some stuff i've grabbed off the DUK website. i can't quite get the hang of the NICE website...it's so confusing, every search i do doesn't seem to bring up anything useful.
Well I know that Becca has been good at this in the past. Am and Sam are both good writers. I'm actually pretty competent myself. Cate also said she's good with press releases.
I used to love Diet Vanilla Coke and Diet Dr Pepper... I wonder how much sugar was in creamola foam? When I was a youngster that was the only drink I was allowed...
